Three men believed to be involved in the sale and distribution of illicit drugs were arrested in separate raids yesterday.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations Livai Driu says the Nausori Crime team conducted a raid in Raralevu, seizing more than 50 zip-lock plastic bags containing white crystals believed to be methamphetamine and 15 sachets of dried leaves believed to be marijuana.
The two men, aged 53 and 29 years, remain in police custody as investigations continue.
In the Western Division, a 46-year-old man is charged in Solovi, Nadi remains in custody as investigations continue.
He was allegedly found with more than 170 sachets of dried leaves believed to be marijuana.
ACP Driu says the police will heighten their focus on those involved in the distribution and sale of illicit drugs, particularly during major social and sporting events, which are often targeted by pushers and dealers.
